Today, our class explored how we can create changes (both physical and chemical) to marshmallows. We began by making some detailed observations of our marshmallows. Next, we microwaved the marshmallows. We noticed that the marshmallows grew much larger and expanded in the microwave! After a few minutes, the marshmallows deflated and hardened.

This week, we will continue to explore how we can make physical and chemical changes to these marshmallows!
